Think it closes at 5pm, did you try calling 01707 347700? yep I tried and theyre not picking up however THANK GOD!! hallelujah. On find my Iphone it shows that its at PB so tommorow Ill just go there after school If it is found, just try if possible send a message of thanks to the driver for handing it in to the company, it would encourage more of them to do this, instead of keeping it, selling it on or just leaving it.

Nice to sent messages of thanks of course but how awful that some drivers would, keep it, sell it or just leave it. If I did that in my job I would be sacked most likely as it's stealing. The idea that someone needs to be thanked so in the future they don't keep it seems a bit silly to me. Sorry.

Unfortanatley I didnt since PB arent picking up however coincidentally I met the same driver on the 84 while going back from PB and he was really helpful and told me to write how it looks like and stuff like that so he could give it when he finishes his shift and I thanked him.Im speculating now however that TFL now have it

I am all for politeness, but please do not stand back at the bus stop and wave on the idiot who is yakking on her phone, does not have her mask ready or her Oyster card in hand!
Today’s idiot managed to delay a 358 by 3-4 minutes as she continued on her phone, whilst dropping cards everywhere, then having to be summoned back to the driver as she did not hear the card failure tone. Put your phone down as the bus approaches!!

I’m sick of seeing some bus drivers mirror/signal/manoeuvre all at the same time. Normally Metroline are the guilty ones (not all drivers) but this afternoon it was the turn of LU in the form of SP45.

The right decision as well, hopefully by Spring either they've shelved the idea of removing it completely or found a fair and workable solution

Not really spring as the middle article says January 4th 2021 for 11-15 and Feb 1st for 16-18s. Presumably this will give them time to introduce fares with the annual January increase.

Ridiculous......... more fare paying passengers left behind and hardly any surprise when they switch to uber or invest in a car, bike, moped etc...... more revenue lost leading to more cuts in services.

And kids are not passengers? I saw a comment on Twitter, and realised that it is very true : It will only impact the poorest families.

But children need to get to school. You can't keep everyone happy, decisions have to be made that would have the best outcome on society. Plus, isn't that the point of extra services? So no one gets left behind?

Are buses in London just an extension of social services for kids and OAPs or are people seriously supposed to use them in preference to their car? If it's the latter then a serious rethink is needed.

If it's the latter then a serious rethink is needed. Other measures have been implemented to disincentivize car usage such as the new LTNs in London.

Passengers shouldn't have to be the ones paying the price.
